Chapter 1264: 23 Things About the Fake Emperor and the Powerful Officials
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the others in the hunting ground also heard the sound and began to feel uneasy, especially the women, some of whom were already pale.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
Yuan Chizhi ignored the others, whispered something to Shi Li, and walked towards the outskirts of the hunting ground.
Afterwards, everyone in the hunting ground saw that twenty or thirty black horses rushed out of the forest like crazy and rushed towards the hunting ground in an unstoppable manner.
There were screams all around, and many people were thrown into disarray.
The scene was in an uproar.
Shi Li did not expect that the Northern Country would use such a move, but he did not lose his sense of proportion. He only asked the eunuch to announce to everyone that many guards were stationed outside the hunting ground to prevent those crazy black horses from breaking in.
Seeing how calm Shi Li was, the restless crowd gradually calmed down.
Those black horses from the north were attracted by something and refused to be tamed by the guards. They just kept rushing into the hunting grounds, and even their eyes were red from the smoke.
Hearing that the people of the Northern Kingdom were very good at riding horses, Yuan Chizhi guessed that the Northern Kingdom's envoys might have hidden something in the hunting ground to attract the black horses.
It would definitely be too late to find the thing now, Crazy Horse would not give them time.
So, Yuan Chizhi looked at the guards around him who were trying their best to stop the black horses, and stabbed a black horse in front of him in the belly with his sword.
The black horse neighed miserably, then fell to the ground twitching.
"kill."
Yuan Chizhi drew his sword without changing his expression. A drop of blood splashed on his stern face, making him look like a Shura from hell.
With him leading the way, the guards who were afraid of alarming the nobleman no longer hesitated and started to kill Crazy Horse. The chaotic scene was gradually brought under control.
Shi Li sat steadily under the brocade tent, keeping an eye on the movements here.
A man dressed in eunuch's clothes came over quietly, walked to the table, lowered his head and added a pot of tea, then was about to leave quietly.
Before he could take a step back, Shi Li, who seemed not to have noticed him the moment before, suddenly stood up and kicked him between his weak legs unexpectedly.
The "eunuch" was caught off guard and fell to the ground, rolling and howling in pain.
Shi Li showed no mercy and kicked over the table in front of him, dropping everything on it on top of him.
Before the storm outside subsided, another one arose around Shi Li. Everyone around him was already terrified. Only a few people were still brave enough to shout, "Protect the emperor!"
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Chizhi came back like lightning, holding a long sword that was dripping with blood.
His body and face were covered in blood, and his expressionless face was extremely horrifying. He ran towards the emperor at the top of his head without even looking away.
This scene made it impossible to tell what he wanted to do, and everyone was so scared that they lost their voices.
Only after Shi Li saw him did she heave a long sigh of relief and lower her eyes to glance at the "fake eunuch" who was pressed under the table.
"I am fine. This man has evil intentions. Suppress him and let him be interrogated."
Yuan Chizhi looked at Shi Li, who was safe and sound, with no expression on his face, but a hint of relief in his eyes.
As expected, she lived up to his teachings for so long; her skills and courage did not disappoint him.
Suddenly a handkerchief wrapped in a ball flew over. If he had reacted a little slower, the handkerchief would have hit him directly in the face.
Yuan Chizhi caught the handkerchief with one hand, and heard Shi Li say in a deep voice: "Wipe your face."
She knew that the blood on Yuan Chizhi's body was not hers, but looking at him like this was still shocking.
The handkerchief in the palm of my hand is particularly soft.
Yuan Chizhi twitched his lips, lowered his head and smiled silently.
When something like this happened, it was natural that the Northern Kingdom's envoys had to be arrested.
However, a group of people led by the second prince of the Northern Kingdom had planned this for a long time. After feeding the black horse with special medicine in the forest, they led the horse directly into the forest and escaped.
Shi Li arranged for people to intercept the envoys along the way from the imperial capital to the Northern Kingdom, and captured and killed most of them. However, the second prince was as cunning as a loach, and he finally escaped back to the Northern Kingdom in a panic.
Even though he was being chased and fleeing all the way, he did not forget to spread rumors about Shi Li along the way.
It is said that Shi Li was a eunuch born with deficiencies.
Shi Li: ...
Fortunately, she is not a man at all, otherwise she would be furious with these words.
"It would be a disaster if we kept this person."
Of course, Yuan Chizhi also heard that the second prince was fanning the flames everywhere, and his face was gloomy.
"First, we need to deal with the internal affairs, then we can deal with the external affairs."
Shi Li didn't care about the rumors spread by the second prince and had focused all her energy on the court these days.
The fake eunuch who was caught that day was interrogated day and night, and finally he could not bear it anymore and confessed the identity of King Zhuang.
This prince who had already gone to his fiefdom was still unwilling to give up his evil intentions. He instigated the crown prince who remained in the imperial capital and the northern country's envoys to secretly collude in order to covet the throne.
Although both are princes, there is a huge difference between Prince Zhuang and Prince Su in their personalities.
Since they had already planned to poison him, Shi Li no longer had to worry and directly detained Princess Zhuang and the Crown Prince in the imperial capital. He also sent people to his fiefdom to escort Prince Zhuang back to the imperial capital.
Before the matter was settled, news came from the North that the Northern Prince had unilaterally declared war on Jing Dynasty!
